Description

A kind of real-time gesture tracking and tracker
Technical field
The present invention relates to the video motion view data and handle and field of machine vision, the particularly a kind of skin color of hand and movable information of gesture of utilizing mixes the method for realization gesture tracking and the system of this method of realization.
Background technology
Real-time gesture track algorithm is the hot issue of Flame Image Process and field of machine vision research always; Also be the difficult point problem simultaneously; Although proposed a series of track algorithm; And obtained effect preferably, Chinese patent publication number CN102053702A just discloses a kind of dynamic gesture control system and method.But all there is certain defective in these trackings; Only be used for colour of skin information like the camshift method, caused the accurate tracking existing problems of gesture, thereby influenced the development of human-computer interaction technology; Trace it to its cause is that people's gesture has diversity and complicacy; Each one residing environmental difference is a lot of in addition, therefore, how to realize in complicated background that the accurate tracking of hand target is most important.
About the gesture track algorithm, mainly contain optical flow method, based on the tracking of colour of skin information and camshifft method etc.Light stream is the instantaneous velocity of the pixel motion of space motion object on the observation imaging surface; The research of light stream is to utilize the time domain of the pixel intensity data in the image sequence to change and correlativity is confirmed " motion " of location of pixels separately, promptly studies the relation of object structures in gradation of image variation and the scene in time and motion thereof.Gray scale instantaneous rate of change on the two dimensional image plane preferred coordinate point is defined as light stream vector.Optical flow field (optical flow field) is meant the apparent motion of gradation of image pattern.It is a two-dimensional vector field, and the information that it comprises promptly is the transient motion velocity information of each picture point, and the purpose of research optical flow field is exactly the sports ground that can not directly obtain for approximate treatment from sequence image.When people's eyes are observed moving object; The scene of object forms a series of continually varying images on the retina of human eye; These a series of continually varying information are " flowing through " retina (being the plane of delineation) constantly, like a kind of " stream " of light, so be referred to as light stream (optical flow).The variation of image has been expressed in light stream, because it has comprised the information of target travel, therefore can the person of being observed be used for confirming the motion conditions of target.
At present the gesture track algorithm mainly is to be divided into three types, and one type of gesture track algorithm that is based on colour of skin information has three defectives based on the gesture detecting method of features of skin colors, the one, and illumination is very big to colour of skin influence, causes gestures detection in some cases, complete failure; The 2nd, in real process, people's face etc. also can get in the detection system as target; The 3rd, when having the background relevant with the colour of skin in the background, background also can be considered to target; Another kind of also is that the modified of colour of skin information is the camshift method, owing to utilized the meanshift algorithm, its tracking performance will have raising than the first kind, but when the colour of skin was disturbed, tracking accuracy had obviously decline; Optical flow method based on optical flow field has good effect to target following, and than robust, the variation of background is less to its influence simultaneously to illumination variation; Therefore become the first-selection of target following, in practical application, owing to reasons such as blocking property, multiple light courcess, the transparency and noises; Make the gray scale conservation assumed condition of optical flow field fundamental equation not satisfy; Can not solve correct optical flow field, most optical flow computation method is quite complicated simultaneously, and calculated amount is huge; Can not satisfy real-time requirement, therefore generally precision and real-time not required to be adopted than higher supervisory system.
